Ms. Polly's Specialty Cakes and Desserts

When Peter and I would be on our way home from somewhere in the North, we'd usually drop by the Shell gasoline station right before we enter the SLEX, not just to get gas but to buy some food supplies as well. One time, while we were inside that particular Shell Select convenience store, I saw these boxes of cakes displayed on the shelf. They're Ms. Polly's Specialty Cakes and Desserts.

Vanilla Ice Cream with Everything on Top

I was craving for ice cream... any ice cream, before I slept this morning. Peter promised to buy me some. But then I fell asleep while reading Emily Griffin's Something Borrowed and dreamed of some delectable bowl of cold treat. When I woke up, my dream came true! Peter handed me a bowl of vanilla ice cream with Nips, Chocnut and Choco Mallows. Yum yum yum!!!! My baboo is the best!!!

Sofitel Buffet Treat

Sofitel Sunset/OutdoorBuffet

This may be a super delayed post but we'd still like to share here the wonderful (albeit overpriced) Valentine's dinner buffet we had at Sofitel with Popsy. Everything tasted scrumptious. I think the only thing that we didn't find exquisite was their grilled lamb chops. They were a bit bland. It's a good thing that the mint sauce that went with it more than compensated for the taste. Other than that, every other dish we had tasted good and was lovely.

This is one of my favorites. Their salad included some edible flower petals.

The waiter said these glasses of champagne were complementary. But I think it's one of the reasons why our bill reach P13k that night.

Chocolatey Month

Is it because it's the month of hearts that our fridge is somehow packed with some imported chocolates? Nah. It's just that Popsy brought home a bunch of these sweet goodness and since then we can't stop popping one in our mouth. Just this afternoon alone, I ate two Reese's cups and half of the Toblerone bar Ninette gave us last weekend. Eeeep.

Fried Chicken Liver in Butter and Honey + Tuna Adobo with Veggies

After a looong break, I'm back!


Should you wish to find out what have I been doing lately, just head over to SEXYNOMAD, my main personal blog.

Anyway, vacation is over, I'm back to doing 2-3 jobs at a time, which I love by the way, but I still want to make sure that I can find a window in my busy schedule to practice cooking (and food photography too!). For this week, I was able to cook twice --- first was yesterday when I just prepared an old potato dish I already blogged about. Then the second one was earlier this evening. I was craving for some Tuna Adobo and Chicken Liver and I thank the universe that I still have the ingredients inside my fridge. I need to do some groceries soon though so I can start experimenting with other recipes. Hopefully, I can prepare something from one of my cook books rather than just going by my gut feel just like what I said in my personal projects site, TheJenAdamsProject. ^_^



Anyway, here's what I cooked a while ago. Please take note that when I did this, I didn't measure my ingredients. I just went with my gut feel. Hihihi.



Fried Chicken Liver in Butter and Honey

I dried my chicken liver parts a bit using tissue paper. Then I dashed them with pepper and salt to taste. I set them aside for a moment.



I put my old sauce pan on the stove and turned up the heat. I placed a thin slice of butter and some honey on the pan. As they were melting, I put my chicken liver. I fried them until they were a bit burnt by the simmering butter and honey. I like it that way.

Once it was fried the way I liked it, I set it aside.
